Settling in

Things have not been so easy since we arrived here in Charleston. Our moving day started with Luke, under my not so watchful eye, fell down a flight of stairs in Charlotte while Brian was out getting the Uhaul. I was devastated, he was perfectly fine.
Once we got to Charleston, the air conditioner in our new apartment broke while we were in the process of moving in. It was 86 degrees inside and we were already sweating from the unpacking. Frustrating!
Our new apartment was not only NOT clean, it was infested with fleas. We had to have it bombed, but they didn't do it before we actually got in, so we had to evacuate for a day so they could do it. They also hadn't cleaned the carpets and the former tenants were smokers. Yet another day of evacuating so that could be done! Very frustrating!
However, in spite of all the horrors of apartment living and moving, we are finally settled in. Brian and I were able to have a date too. We went to Folly beach (which is only 5 minutes up the road) and found a rooftop bar. There was a band playing and preseason football on the TV. We obviously fell in love with the place. I felt like I was on vacation but I actually get to live here!
Still feeling quite overwhelmed with the move and another transition, but that's a whole other post...

Folly Beach is pretty close to my sister. At the very least, it's a beach she visits often. Next time I'm planning to visit with her, maybe we could meet up there.

another transition? Is this a baby #2 type transition?
